This bulb won't spike next year, will it? It's done after this season, so I thought???

I'm a hopeless case when it comes to these! They frustrate me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your plant is still growing it requires a few more months before getting rest. I meant that your plant it may to bloom this year because normaly they have to build strong pseudobulbs before flowering, that is why I am supposing that this one won´t bloom this year, it will bloom next year on a new growing pseudo bulb and not from the old ones.
